Mold remediation is the procedure of stopping mold growth and removing existing mold from an environment. It is the second portion of a two-fold process, the first of which will be mold evaluation.
If left untreated, mold can cause severe respiratory illness, difficulty breathing, coughing, wheezing and asthma attacks. To put it differently, neurotoxicity is a really real risk.
The procedures for mold removal may be different dependent on the amount of mold, its type and the surroundings. For example, the protocol for a 30-square-foot mould remediation is different compared to the protocol to get a 100-square-foot one.Despite those variations, the fundamentals of mold remediation are universal. Specifically, mold remediation is a multifaceted process that entails a mix of warmth, disinfection and elimination. Heating is used to wash the mold, thereby rendering the spores inactive, and also the elimination of spores prevents mold recurrence.
Mold is something you often hear about, but if you keep your home tidy and clean, you may assume that it isn't some thing you'll want to be concerned about. However, since mold may grow in areas you might not expect, it may nevertheless cause a significant threat for you and your family.
Unlike plants, which get their energy from sunlight, molds grow in dark, damp environments and are damaged by the sun's ultraviolet rays. You won't encounter mold growth unless you've got a problem with moisture from your property. Excessive moisture may be caused by leaky buildings, flood damage or high levels of humidity. Most species of mold require that a surface be moist for at least 24 hours prior to the spores will begin to grow. Additionally, improper venting is another variable of mold development.
Temperature can be a factor in mold growth. Most species of mold demand warm temperatures, but a few are known to live even in chilly weather. Worse, many molds that require warm weather are known to go dormant in winter but return again the following season. This can make battling a mold problem even more difficult.
Mold can grow in unexpected places, such as behind walls, the bottoms of couches or chairs, the backs of picture frames, interior heating and air-conditioning systems, the inside of wall board and even beneath carpeting. On surfaces that are dark, it might not be clearly observable.
It is important to fix leaks and dry moisture up quickly, and start looking into Bay Area mold cleanup for your dwelling. Mold can begin to grow within 24 to 48 hours from the time of this episode, and it often begins from the way places, such as wallboard, insulation, under carpets and flooring.
When it comes to mold symptoms, sight is obviously the very apparent, but what does mold really look like? Sadly, this isn't simple to answer. Stachybotrys chartarum (black mold) doesn't seem like Aspergillus, and Penicillium doesn't seem like Cladosporium. The colors can vary from black to green to white and even yellow. However, there are a number of commonalities to consider. For instance, mold is always moist. That is because mold spores require a supply of water in which to germinate. So mold tends to seem slimy, sometimes velvety, but always wet.
If you can not spot mold by considering it, you may have the ability to spot it by its odor. Some molds smell stronger than many others but they almost always bear a musty odor due to the volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) that they release into the air. It's a sour odor, occasionally rather pungent. This odor can occasionally show the presence of mold even when the physical growth isn't visible to the naked eye.
Mold symptoms will change based on the type and severity of the mold, but sometimes, molds may cause noticeable health symptoms. To begin with, it's important to understand that there are three classifications of mold: allergenic, pathogenic and toxigenic.
In many case, allergenic molds will only manifest symptoms in people who are allergic to mold. These indicators may include constricted breathing, coughing, sneezing, lung inflammation and wheezing.
Pathogenic molds can make nearly anyone sick, but they tend to affect the respiratory system too.
Toxigenic molds are the most serious; while they may act–at first–like pathogenic molds, studies have shown that long-term vulnerability may actually lead to certain cancers. Toxic mold is known to cause breathing issues, skin rashes, mood disturbance, immune-system dysfunction, organ damage or even death. That is why it's so essential to tackle mold accumulation quickly by exploring Bay Area mold cleanup for your house.
There are three things you can do to help make sure that mold problems do not impact the health of you and your family.
The first is to obtain a few excellent dehumidifiers and set them in the most humid regions of your house, which are usually the kitchen and the bathrooms.
Most molds begins to grow at around 50 percent humidity, but bear in mind that extremely low humidity has adverse effects also, including cracked lips, dry nasal passages and flaking skin. Aim for about 45 percent humidity in your house since it is the ideal condition for human living.
Next, you will want to make an effort to keep clean. Although cleaning will not defend you from all mold problems, it will help you avoid most surface mold. Some molds thrive on dust particles, so in case you keep your house dust free, you'll have fewer issues.
Lastly, schedule a review by a team of Bay Area mold cleanup professionals who have the experience required to search for hidden areas where mold may be growing.
When it comes to mold in the house, black mold tends to receive all the attention and panicked response.
White mold may not be as harmful as black mold, but it's still a concern. If you discover this kind of mold in your house, removal and cleanup needs to be your first priority, as well as identification and containment of anything caused its own growth.
White mold looks just like something called efflorescence. Efflorescence is a crystalline growth that happens on concrete and rock when water brings salt to the surface. Unlike white mold, efflorescence is harmless, but it is almost impossible to tell the difference just by looking at it.
But if the expansion is on a wood surface, then it is definitely mold. It is also possible to spray water and see whether the growth melts. Efflorescence will dissolve while mold will not.
Its proper name is Stachybotrys, but most of us understand it as "black mold". Normally, it can be seen growing on items that are made from substances with low nitrogen content. Unfortunately, many such substances are commonly found inside homes.
It's known to cause a wide array of symptoms, such as but not limited to: breathing problems, skin rashes, bleeding, cold-like symptoms, nausea, fatigue, mind fog, immune-system suppression and damage to the internal organs. In some cases, the body can not bounce back from even a temporary vulnerability, and the mold infection eventually leads to death. Obviously, not everybody reacts negatively to the presence of mold, but because the risk is so good, it's important to get the issue taken care of immediately.
Call Vital Restoration to your Bay Area Mold cleanup! Since mold is a major health hazard, and eliminating it requires experience and equipment that the average DIY homeowner only can´t match.
No matter what you do, don´t disturb the black mold. Mold can release spores and mycotoxins by the millions and millions, spreading throughout your home and creating a problem akin to having a nuclear collapse specific to your residence.
Each kit is different, and some permit you to swab the dust while others use test tapes. Despite these variations, they all function in basically the same manner. They use samples in the atmosphere to find out whether active mold is present. Even if the mold colony is hiding deep within the walls, then a test kit can very often pick up airborne samples and give you a direct "positive" or "negative" assessment. Think of it like a drug test for your home. With any luck, your home has a clean bill of health.
Some mold testing kits, though, will need you–or enable you–to send your sample to a certified laboratory for a thorough assessment. This costs a lot longer, but a laboratory technician will actually tell you the specific kind of mold you're dealing with, and whether or not it is poisonous. On the surface, this might seem like an excellent service, but I'd counsel against it. If you add up the time that is necessary to send on your sample, assess the fungus and generate a response, you are looking at a few months of waiting time. That is a few weeks where you are living with a possibly hazardous mold colony.
One of the problems with home test kits is that all they tell you is if mold is current. They can not pinpoint the location of the mold, determine its cause or do anything to repair it.
If you think you've got mold in your house, don´t wait to look after the issue, and don´t attempt to care for it yourself. Attempting to clean mold may actually cause the spores to discharge into the air that you breathe, which makes the probability of health problems much worse. Give Vital Restoration a call today at (650) 262-4545. We work to supply mold-free homes by providing some of the lowest prices from Bay Area mold cleanup available.


In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the Mesh Tool and Warp effects in Adobe Illustrator to create a fresh spring grass banner!
You can purchase an illustration including similar grass banners and even flowers from GraphicRiver.
Our first step is going to be the creation of a single blade of grass. Create a long, narrow rectangle using the Rectangle Tool (M).
Color it green. You can use #699108, as I'll be using it in this tutorial.
Select the upper right-hand corner of the rectangle with the Direct Selection Tool (A) and Delete it, creating a triangular shape.
Take the Mesh Tool (U) and create four mesh nodes at regular intervals from each other, simply clicking with the tool on the path. In the end, you should have six mesh nodes, as demonstrated in the screenshot.
Now we will be coloring our created Mesh. We will start with the lowest node, coloring it with the #325001 color.
Next up, we will take the second node from the bottom and color it with #7CA10F.
#4C6C06 for the third node.
#7CA10F for the fourth node.
#416203 for the fifth node.
Finally, #7CA00D for the uppermost node.
Create another row of mesh by clicking right around the middle of the shape with the Mesh Tool (U).
Make the end of our grass blade lighter by selecting all the nodes with the Lasso Tool (Q) and coloring them with #F3FF84.
Select the middle row of nodes using the Lasso Tool (Q) and adjust the color of them by going to Edit > Edit Colors > Adjust Colors.
Input the settings shown below: 17% Red, 12% Green.
Now we will create four more copies of our grass blade to modify them. You can clone them by using Control-C, Control-V, or simply drag the shape while holding the Alt key.
This will warp the blade of grass and make it look more natural.
Select the result and go to Object > Expand Appearance to adjust the shape to the applied effect. Don't forget to repeat this step after each Warp!
Repeat Step 3 after this.
We're done with the warping! Now, rotate your grass blades so they are facing the correct way. Select all five of them and create a copy (Control-C, Control-V) of them.
Select the copies and by going to Edit > Edit Colors > Adjust Colors, make the grass a bit darker.
Create one more copy of the original grass and adjust the colors as well.
Now that we have all the different colors, let's think about the length of the grass!
Select all of the grass we created so far, create a copy, and scale the grass a little bit to make it shorter.
Now that we have all the different types of grass, your next task will depend on your creativity!
Using the blades of grass we've created so far, create a patch of grass by putting them next to each other. You can copy the shapes and send them to back (Shift-Control-[) or to the front (Shift-Control-]). Of course, you can modify the different pieces as well, using the functions that we learned in this tutorial (changing the color, warping, etc.).
Continue, once you are happy with your patch of grass. You can use mine as inspiration!
If you are satisfied with the end result, select the patch of grass, create a group (Control-G), and then move it next to its original place while holding the Alt key. This will copy it. There shouldn't be any empty space between the two patches.
Keep the second group selected and press Control-D. This will copy it again.
Repeat this step until you are happy with the resulting length of the banner.
We're almost done! All that's left is to make your banner look a bit nicer.
Create a white rectangle with the Rectangle Tool (M). The size doesn't matter for now.
Take the Mesh Tool (U) and create a node right in the middle of the shape.
Select the bottom three nodes with the Lasso Tool (Q) and apply the #293500 color to them.
Similarly, select the middle nodes and color them with #B8B87A.
Open the Transparency panel (Window > Transparency) and apply the Multiply Transparency mode to the shape.
Stretch and scale the shape so it fits on the bottom of your grass banner. If you feel the shadow is too dark, adjust the Opacity in the Transparency panel—I made it 70%.
In this we will apply a Clipping Mask, effectively "cropping" the banner.
So now, create a rectangle and move it on top of the picture. It should include everything that you want to have in the final image.
Select everything (Control-A), and then press the right mouse button and select Make Clipping Mask.
What now? You can play around with your banner some more, for example rotating or stretching the different blades of grass. You can adjust the color of the shadow as well.
In this tutorial, you learned how to create a spring grass background, primarily using the Mesh Tool and the different Warp effects!
I hope you've enjoyed this tutorial and learned some useful tools for the future!
This grass banner is uniquely created through this tutorial, but you can find similar grass banners in this illustration, and there's even more in my portfolio!

Carlo Ratti Associati unveils a digitally transformable sofa that morphs into different forms.
Recently unveiled at Milan Design Week 2016, Lift-Bit is a digitally transformable sofa that works through a tablet app to change its topography based on a user's preference. Made up of a series of hexagonal stools, Lift-Bit can be ordered into any arrangement from a sofa or a minimalist living room to a bed or a small auditorium.
International design firm Carlo Ratti Associati designed Lift-bit with the help of Swiss furniture company Vitra. The inspiration behind the concept was the 1978 Generator Project by English architect Cedric Price. According to the Museum of Modern Art, Price's project was "a system of cube like elements that could be moved and combined with others or with additional elements to create temporary structures." It is recognised as the earliest experiment in artificially intelligent architecture.
Now 38 years later, Carlo Ratti Associati has built the world's first digitally reconfigurable furniture system. The system is composed of a series of individual, upholstered stools, which can be raised or lowered by a built-in motor device called a linear actuator.
The Lift-Bit can be controlled with gesture movement or remotely using a mobile app that includes a series of predetermined shapes to get you started, and a tool for creating new configurations. When the system is not used for a certain length of time, it will start shape-shifting itself to interact with users.
The possibilities of Lift-Bit are endless due to its scalability. Aside from its application as a smart furniture system, the design is further enhanced when it is assembled in large compositions that can completely change the topography of a room.

When my friends told me we are going to Milan for a weekend to celebrate our birthdays, my first question was: "Why Milan?" She answered: "To do shopping, what else?" Since the group pretty much decided that we're going to Milan and I wasn't really up for shopping for 2 ½ days, I managed to convince them to do something that is not related to shopping – like seeing the Leonardo DaVinci's Last Supper.
One thing about viewing the Last Supper is that you have to book it in advance – at least that's what everybody says. This is where I came across with the City Wonders' Da Vinci's Last Supper and the Best of Milan Walking Tour… and I'm glad we've taken this tour. At first, my friends were apprehensive with the 3-hr walking tour since 2 of them just recovered from a leg and a hip injury. Second, I've been travelling a lot in Europe and I've only done a guided tour once in Barcelona – it was horrible. After that, I lost faith in guided tours with patronizing tour guides who automatically thinks all Asians are Chinese. However, as we only had limited to tour Milan and I was too busy at work to do a research on Milan, we ended up getting the 3-hr walking tour.
Getting a reservation with City Wonders' Last Supper was much easier than shopping online. I just went to their website (http://www.lastsuppertickets.com/last_supper_tour.aspx), paid in credit card, and I instantly got an email confirmation. The instructions on the meeting place and how to get there are very clear.
The price of the tour is EUR 65 per adult (it's EUR 60 for children). For me, this is already a good deal since it already includes the Last Supper tickets… and being able to skip lines is the most convenient thing ever.
Recalling my traumatic experience with a tour guide in Barcelona? Rafaella, our tour guide was the exact opposite of that dude. With Rafaella, 3 hours went like minutes! She was very knowledgeable about her city and I felt how passionate she is about telling Milan's story to people too. She is fluent in English with an Italian accent – very easy to understand. She was super funny and very accommodating. I was very much impressed by how much she managed to connect with everyone despite being in a group of 20ish people.
I enjoyed the tour very much and I must say, I learned a lot! A big part of it was, again, Rafaella – our very good tour guide. As mentioned, skipping the line in Duomo and the Last Supper is everything! When we arrived in Duomo, the line was insanely long. Then, Rafaella said we were actually entering the side entrance, which is exclusive for guided tours – I guess. That must have saved us from falling in line for at least 30 minutes. In Duomo, we learned fascinating trivia about its structure, the statues, the works, etc. These are the things that we won't know just by going inside, perhaps unless you buy a guide book or something. The Last Supper was of course the highlight of the tour and was the last part of the tour. As what Rafaella said, if you were disappointed by Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, you won't be with the Last Supper. I'm not a big art fan – in fact, I get bored at every Picasso museum I've been to. I see art stuff because of their historical significance or in lay man's term – just for the sake of saying I've seen it. But the Last Supper, I literally stared at it in amusement and with genuine appreciation of its history and significance. It was also because Rafaella was giving great trivia about it – something you won't get if you view the Last Supper without a tour guide.
Also, don't worry if you think that 3 hours of walking is too long. As I said, the tour is very interesting and especially if you get a really good tour guide, 3 hours will pass by like minutes. In addition, Rafaella took us in a café for a good 10-15-minute break. This gave us an opportunity to talk to the other tourists and ask Rafaella for food and restaurant recommendations while having amazing coffee.
I definitely recommend City Wonders' Da Vinci's Last Supper and the Best of Milan Walking Tour to everyone who is going to Milan. I guarantee that after the tour, you will see Milan in a different way – it's not just a shopping city.
One recommendation I can give is take the 14.30H tour, which finishes at 17.30H. The timing is perfect for an aperitif after the tour to rest a bit and talk about the tour with your friends then go to dinner.

Świadkowie Jehowy w Lesotho – społeczność wyznaniowa w Lesotho, należąca do ogólnoświatowej wspólnoty Świadków Jehowy, licząca w 2022 roku 3729 głosicieli, należących do 82 zborów. Na dorocznej uroczystości Wieczerzy Pańskiej w 2022 roku zebrało się 8348 osób. Działalność miejscowych głosicieli koordynuje południowoafrykańskie Biuro Oddziału w Krugersdorp. Biuro Krajowe znajduje się w stolicy Lesotho, w Maseru.

Historia
W 1925 roku na teren obecnego Lesotho dotarli głosiciele z dzisiejszej Południowej Afryki i rozpoczęli działalność kaznodziejską.

W 1951 roku na terenie Lesotho liczba głosicieli wyniosła 63 osoby w 5 małych zborach. Dwa lata później w działalności kaznodziejskiej brało udział 113 głosicieli.

W 1972 roku na zebrania zborowe w Maseru przychodziło ponad 200 osób. Powstała pierwsza w tym kraju Sala Królestwa na 250 miejsc.

W dniach od 3 do 7 stycznia 1979 roku w Maseru odbył się kongres pod hasłem "Zwycięska wiara". W 1979 roku osiągnięto liczbę 571 Świadków Jehowy, a w kwietniu 1988 roku zanotowano liczbę 1078 głosicieli.

W 1994 roku w Maseru wybudowano Salę Królestwa i dom misjonarski. Wydano też Chrześcijańskie Pisma Greckie w Przekładzie Nowego Świata w języku sotho, a w 2000 roku całe Pismo Święte w Przekładzie Nowego Świata w tym języku (do roku 2022 wydrukowano ponad 138 000 egzemplarzy).

W roku 2002 Świadkom Jehowy mieszkającym w rejonach dotkniętych klęską głodu dostarczono kukurydzę i inne niezbędne artykuły.

W 2007 roku liczba głosicieli wynosiła 3378. Rok później zanotowano liczbę 3555 głosicieli, a na uroczystości Pamiątki zebrały się 9153 osoby. W 2011 roku w kraju działało 3817 głosicieli, a na Wieczerzy Pańskiej (Pamiątce) zebrało się 9520 osób. W 2014 roku osiągnięto liczbę 4122 głosicieli, a w 2020 roku – 4312.

25 czerwca 2022 roku Kenneth Cook członek Ciała Kierowniczego ogłosił wydanie zrewidowanej wersji Przekładu Nowego Świata w języku soto (Lesotho). Językiem tym posługuje się ponad 3900 głosicieli w 82 zborach w Lesotho.

Zebrania zborowe odbywają się w języku angielskim i sotho, a kongresy w j. sotho.

[Salem Horror Fest Review] 'The Last Thanksgiving' Offers Up a Delicious Feast of Gory Mayhem
Just last year I wrote an article about how Thanksgiving goes largely ignored as a time for horror movies even though it comes right between the holidays which inspire the most genre films: Halloween and Christmas...
...Only a handful of movies dare to create a film around the November holiday, so I always give a lot of thanks for new Thanksgiving horror. Currently making its East Coast Premiere at the Salem Horror Fest, writer/director Eric Lorinc makes his film debut with The Last Thanksgiving, and the movie is like if John Waters and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre had a baby and then that baby grew up to host its own Thanksgiving. Over the top characters find themselves in a bizarre situation when a family of cannibals invades an overstaffed restaurant on Thanksgiving where the campy dialogue and kitchen-inspired gore will have you asking for seconds.
Not-so-family-friendly spirits fill the air at Lisa-Marie's (Samantha Ferrand) house. The first words spoken to the protagonist come from her screaming mother. Lisa-Marie dropped out of college and now lives at home with her parents and no one seems to enjoy the situation. Her mother harps on her to get to work (even though it's Thanksgiving) and her father does not offer much help in the argument. After a bit more screaming and throwing of insults, Lisa-Marie leaves, and the focus switches to the Brimston family who has quite a different domestic atmosphere. Everyone behaves politely and compliments each other. Great care goes into preparing food, and all without anyone raising their voice. Aside from the large mask-wearing brother, a person trapped in a back room, and a family affinity for human blood, the household really depicts the quintessential holiday household.
The film now switches location again and we finally arrive at the main setting for the story: Derry's Diner. No one seems terribly pleased with working on a holiday and as Lisa-Marie walks into work we get a quick introduction to depressed goth Trudie (Gaby Spampiro), nerdy optimistic Eddie (Brandon Holzer) who has a crush on dreamy Tyler (Robert Richards Jr.), besties Ms. Perez (Madelin Merchant) and Mrs Kim (Tametria Harris) who find solace in each other, and the owner of the restaurant Mr. Pearl (Nicolas Punales). Mr. Pearl's father, Mr. Pearl Sr. (Francisco D Gonzalez) is also hanging out at the diner, so lots of lonely people this Thanksgiving. But Mr. Pearl tries to stay positive and reminds everyone they are all "like" a family and should find some good in their current situation. If the fairly large staff working a small diner during Thanksgiving seems unlikely, feel reassured the overstaffed restaurant just ups the body count. Two cooks, two waitresses, one host, one bartender, the boss and his dad, all work together to wait on one customer: the lonely Paulette (Linnea Quigley, Return of the Living Dead, Night of the Demons).
Back at the cannibal's household, Cordelia Brimston (Tristan Petashnick) shares with their unseen captive how the family does the same routine every year when it comes to the holiday season. And while they all enjoy the thrill of killing humans (especially when the opportunity for a one-liner presents itself), the need for improvement pushes the family to think outside the box this year. Instead of following with the traditional home invasion, the Brimstons set their sights on Derry's Diner. So, Kurt (Matthew McClure) the cannibal appears at the restaurant under the pretense of looking for a job, but he is actually looking to get someone to go. A quick whisk to the eye, cigarette down the throat, and cleaver through the head will help get the Thanksgiving feast started.
The Last Thanksgiving combines delicious gore and a quirky cavalcade of characters which border between campy fun and creep-tastic. Big brother Trip Brimston (Michael Vitovich) plays the Leatherface of the family as his large size and silent demeanor make him a physically intimidating villain. And to keep with the holiday theme, Trip wears a pilgrim mask just to make the movie more festive. What's even more fun about the movie is that is a true Thanksgiving horror! Not just a horror movie that happens to take place on or around the holiday but occurs because of the holiday. The cannibals use Thanksgiving as a means to honor the memory of a long-ago family member. Apparently, cannibalism dates back to the first Thanksgiving and is what started the family tradition of eating people. The Brimstons idolize Thanksgiving so much that they target people who do not believe in the spirit of the holiday, so lonely people and people avoiding their family become the main course.
Lorinc definitely entered the world of feature length film with a bang. He created a gory tale of cannibals that does not take itself too seriously and knows how to enjoy the holiday. Thanksgiving is supposed to be about family and food, but after you tire of all that, sit down and enjoy The Last Thanksgiving which will hopefully become a new holiday tradition for the horror fam.

FG to shut down Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos
Oct 8, 2020 | Human Interest, News | 0
The federal government in collaboration with the Lagos State government has resolve to shut down two sections of the third Lagos mainland bridge which are the Adeniji Adele and Adekunle section for two days. This is due to the on-going repair works on the Bridge. The shut down is said to commence on Friday, October 9, 2020.
This was made known by the Lagos State Federal Controller of works,Joshua Popoola in a statement in which he said that the section of the bridge would be closed from midnight of Friday, October 9 to midnight of Sunday, October 11
"the contractor currently carrying out repair works on the bridge is nearing completion of works on the closed section of Third Mainland Bridge and requires the total closure of both bounds of the bridge between Adeniji Adele and Adekunle to complete work.
"The total closure of this section of the bridge is to ensure that there is no vibration on the bridge during the casting in-place of the newly installed expansion joints. This is to allow for setting of the special concrete, which allows the concrete to achieve its required compressive strength."
"Due to the number of expansion joints to be cast on the closed section of the bridge and the traffic situation in Lagos State, especially during the week days; the casting of the expansion joints will be in two stages to ensure that the total closure is only at the weekends, when there is less traffic plying the route."
"The section of the bridge between Adekunle and Iyana – Oworo will still remain open, and traffic can move from Ebute-Metta/ Adekunle to Iyana – Oworo and vice – versa," said the Controller of works.
The Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Gbenga Omotoso, has assured the resident that the latest arrangement will not affect their regular activities as adequate plans have been made to ensure seamless vehicular movement, just as it was six months ago when the Federal Government shut and commenced phase repair works on the 11.8km bridge precisely on July 24, 2020
"Do not forget that at the beginning of repair works, residents' panicked over possible gridlock with attendant hardship but it turned out not to be so at the end of the day."
"There are alternative routes for motorists. We are working in collaboration with other Federal agencies such as Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, Police, and also Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, to ensure effective and efficient traffic management during the closure. There is no cause for the alarm", he said.

ED US showed a DVT in the CFV extending to the popliteal vein.
The patient was referred to haematology due to ongoing pain in the leg and inability to mobilise. Haematology arranged for the patient to have intravascular thrombolysis due to the high risk of PE and post thrombotic syndrome with such extensive proximal DVT.

Mateo Cerezo (19 April 1637 – 29 June 1666) was a Baroque Spanish painter. In 1654 he moved to Madrid and studied with Juan Carreno de Miranda and possibly with Antonio de Pereda. He died young at age forty years, and much of his work is at the Prado Museum in Madrid, as well as at the Museo de Burgos.
This brings tears to my eyes...the Truth..The Reality of what truly occurred cannot be denied. God, The Omnipotent Father , has the ability to send HIS SON to Earth whenever the crisis demands...the forms the Christ has taken has been many. This is why it is impossible to geographically declare that any event is impossible. It has also been alluded to that the Earth MUST have the 36 Holy Ones walking the Earth simultaneously, or the End Of The World would be Imminent. Also ...this brings further thought to the 31 Dimensions that all humans must go through to seek the Merging with and of GOD HIMSELF.Finding the TRUTH has been a maze for many...but once you have stepped upon it's HOLY MARVEL...the Path is Direct...and often Difficult.....very difficult.OUR God and HIS SON..and The Holy Hierarchies are deeply awesome to behold.LOVE seems to be the only anecdote.

Urgent hunt for vulnerable girl, 15, who hasn't been seen since Sunday morning
Ιανουάριος 14, 2020 Ιανουάριος 14, 2020 admin	0 Σχόλια
A vulnerable 15-year-old girl has vanished after going to buy a newspaper for her grandfather, leaving her distraught mother 'out of her mind' with worry.
Francheska Humphreys was last seen on Sunday morning at her home in Anfield, Liverpool, where she lives with her mother Jasmine and baby brother Michael.
The teenager had agreed to go to the nearby shops to buy some newspapers for her grandfather, and was given £6. But she didn't return.
That was at about 10.30am and she has not been since. This is the first time Francheska has gone missing, and her concerned mother said her daughter was 'vulnerable, naive and easily sucked into things'.
Francheska (pictured), who is a pupil at Everton Free School sports college, has connections to Kirkby, Bootle, Huyton and Ormskirk
Police were this weekend informed about her disappearance, and her friends have been out scouring the streets for her.
Francheska, who is a pupil at Everton Free School sports college, has connections to Kirkby, Bootle, Huyton and Ormskirk.
Mum Jasmine, who also has a 15-month-old son, said she got into a row with her daughter on Saturday about one of her friends.
The parent confiscated the teen's mobile phone, and grounded her. But that evening she escaped and ran off, being found a short time later, still in the same neighbourhood.
Francheska had tried to walk to a friend's house, but a friend of her mum got into a car and quickly found her.
Everything was resolved, and the 15-year-old appeared happy to run the errand for her grandad on Sunday morning, Mrs Humphreys said. She was also given extra money to buy a drink for herself.
Mrs Humphreys, 34, who said Francheska would 'get in with the wrong crowd,' said: 'She's a girly girl, into her make-up, clothes and shoes. She's a lovely bubbly girl, who would do anything for anyone. She's almost too nice.'
Francheska was due to meet her friends, possibly in Bootle, on Sunday afternoon before she vanished.
Mrs Humphreys added: 'I've been really worried, not been sleeping, and can't eat or relax.
'I can't go looking for her myself as I've got the baby. It's heartbreaking, we don't know what's happened to her.'
Merseyside Police confirmed they had a missing person report about Francheska. Anyone who has seen her is asked to contact @MerPolCC on Twitter, call 101 or the charity Missing People on 116 000.

Mohamed Behi, Somaliland's Minister of Foreign Affairs, informs on internationally monitored negotiations with Somalia to take place in Ankara.
Internationally sanctioned talks between the two neighboring countries of Somaliland and Somalia are to resume under the stewardship of the Turkish government in Ankara.
This was informed by the Somaliland minister of foreign affairs Mohamed Behi Yonis during a press briefing in Hargeisa where he also revealed that negotiators from Hargeisa shall depart on Sunday 5th January for the Turkish city of Ankara.
This fifth phase of the talks that were originally slated for November 2013 will if actually materialize come after several requests for postponement from the Somalia Federal Government-SFG due to political upheavals in the country which is under 75% control of Al-Shabaab an Al-Qaeda affiliated group battling the SFG and AMISOM troops for control.
Foreign minister who refuted circulating claims that the talks have collapsed said, "The talks shall be held in Turkey next week thence the issue of collapse is unfounded" as he made revelations of his recent trip to the UK in company of the Somaliland minister of commerce and investment Dr Mohamed Abdilahi Omar.
Said "During our ministerial visit to Britain we held negotiations with DITOL Corp Ltd an international conglomerate with worldwide business portfolios that is interested in investing in various local Somaliland sectors"
This remark by the Foreign minister was in apparent refutation of some media allegations that the duo of Somaliland ministers were in the UK to hold secret meetings with SFG counterparts in view of the fact that Behi was accompanied on a foreign trip abroad for the first time by his predecessor Dr Omar who is currently the Commerce and investment Minister and officially the Somaliland chief negotiator with Somalia.
"It is my mandate as the minister of foreign affairs and international cooperation to promote foreign investment in my country as well as link the various interested companies with relevant ministries and ministers" said Behi.
On the resuming talks in Turkey anticipation is high as pertains the final agenda for discussions since the stand-off between the two formerly united countries still stands in relation to demands by Mogadishu that the talks are about reunification thence resuscitation of the defunct Republic of Somalia while Hargeisa maintains that the sovereign of Somaliland is not only non-negotiable but irrevocable as well.
On the other hand the anticipation of somalilanders is related to the perceived partiality of the Turkish government which has covertly and overtly portrayed its support of the stand by the Mogadishu SFG while dilly-dallying with Somaliland.
Suspicion is also rife that the talks are never to accomplish anything apart from being a forum for Tete 'a' Tete between officials from the two neighboring and formerly united countries whose voluntary union of the 1960 later turned fateful was dissolved in 1991 after a brutal civil that was occasioned by the massacre of over 50,000 somalilanders by forces loyal to then Somalia strongman General Mohamed Siad Barre.
Though the international community recognizes the Somalia Federal government which incidentally is propped by it, IC, while ignoring the now 22 years quest of Somaliland facts and realities on the ground that clearly distinguish are function state from a failed one are the best judge on which of the two is worthy of recognition.
In the 22 years in question Somaliland has managed to secure its borders, establish a government, reconcile formerly warring clans into one cohesive citizenry, mint its own currency and embark on a successful democratization process that has seen 2 presidential, 1 parliamentarian and 2 local council elections conducted to international acclaim.
In this same period the international recognized Somalia has failed to organize a centralized government thence the ensuing regional administrations, failed to provide basic [public services anywhere in the country for the long suffering citizens who are incidentally a majority in IDP, refugee and captured illegal migrant camps in numerous countries worldwide due to continuous warfare among the political elites most of them covert supporters and donors of Al-Shabaab militants who control 75% of the country despite thousands of AU troops under the AMISOM banner.
After all is said and done the forthcoming talks in Ankara are the 'Gordian Knot' for Turkey due to its government's partiality towards Somalia and the 'Trojan Horse' for Somaliland and its demand for nothing less than dialogue on honorable separation while they, Ankara Talks, are the 'Catch-22' of the SFG and its president of Hassan Sheikh who since taking office has trumpeted his mission and chief mandate as being the reunification with Somaliland.
The Hasan and SFG Catch-22 is also closely related by recent machinations within the Somalia parliament in Mogadishu where some of the selected MPs are intended on filling a motion opposing continued talks with Somaliland because the separation of any region, read Somaliland, as enshrined by the cobbled constitution must be debated thence approved or rejected by it, the Mogadishu parliament.

With a history of miscarriages and failed IVF treatments, she also spoke about how her attempts at getting pregnant took a toll on her and her family.
"There was a lot of pain, and a lot of disappointment," she said. "I felt like I was not only disappointing myself and my spouse, but all the people who'd hung a lot of hope on us. I felt like a complete loser and failure."
With that feeling and disappointment a thing of the past now thanks to her chubby and pretty bundle of joy, we share with you seven times mother and daughter have slayed in matching or similar outfits. Enjoy!

Rick Adelman Will Not Retire After Being Let Go By Rockets
By Jordan Ruby Apr 20, 2011, 12:12pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: Rick Adelman Will Not Retire After Being Let Go By Rockets
The Rockets have elected not to retain coach Rick Adelman. Jonathan Feign of the Houston Chronicle reports that Adelman is disappointed that he will not be retuning to Houston, and that he would have been open to a return had the organization suggested it. Adelman will head back to his home in Portland to weigh his future, but that he has no plans of retiring.
"I definitely would look at situations," Adelman, 64, said. "It's not like I'm retiring. I'm OK with doing something else. We'd like to travel. We'd like to do things we weren't able to do because of basketball. If there is no basketball, we're ready for that. But I would look at things if they come up."
Adelman also said that there were some disagreements with what the future of the organization should like, and Adelman's role in helping them get there; which must be the reason that they decided to let him walk. Adelman suggested that assistants Elston Turner and Jack Sikma were ready to be NBA coaches, but there is no word that they are part of the Rockets search for a new coach.

Honor the Fallen – Sgt. Maj. James G. "Ryan" Sartor
Originally posted on American Military News
Sgt. Maj. James G. "Ryan" Sartor, a Special Forces company sergeant major, was killed in Afghanistan Saturday, according to the Department of Defense.
Sartor, 40, was killed in Faryab Province from injuries sustained from enemy fire during a combat operation, officials said in a statement Sunday morning.
"Ryan was a beloved warrior who epitomized the quiet professional," Col. Brian R. Rauen, the commander of 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne), said in a statement. "He led his soldiers from the front and his presence will be terribly missed."
Sartor, from Teague, Texas, enlisted in June 2001 and deployed to Iraq a year later. He deployed six more times to both Iraq and Afghanistan between 2006 and 2019.
Among Sartor's awards were a Bronze Star Medal with three oak leaf clusters, the Defense Meritorious Service Medal and the Joint Service Commendation Medal.
He will posthumously be awarded the Purple Heart Medal and Bronze Star Medal, the Army said.
Late last month, two U.S. soldiers, Master Sgt. Micheal B. Riley, 32, of Heilbronn, Germany, and Sgt. James G. Johnston, 24, of Trumansburg, New York, were killed in Afghanistan.

Home » Letters » What's in a whistle?
Much has been said and written about the Chief Minister's spontaneous comments when he was interrupted by a guy (presumably) blowing his whistle whilst he was delivering his May Day speech.
First of all, despite what has already been said against the double entendre it was very discourteous for anyone in the audience to interrupt the Chief Minister, it is also a credit to him who did not buckle down to such an abrupt provocation and answered quite appropriately with what we would all call 'a llanitada,' that we can all understand.
I am sure few ladies were embarrassed or offended by his comments as we all know that 'el pito' can have a double meaning and is often used by men and women in normal, private conversations. So let us be open-minded and not squeamish, As a musician I have often witnessed entertainers who have been interrupted during their performance whilst on stage by offensive members of the audience and who have made good use of their privileged position behind the microphone to point out and discredit the offending person, who often is forced to leave suffering great embarrassment This is a matter of 'treating offensive people as they deserve,' In this case, I agree with the Chief Minister.


The Bhagavad Gita occurs in the Bhishma Parva of the Mahabharata and comprises 18 chapters from the 25th through 42nd and consists of 700 verses. Its authorship is traditionally ascribed to Vyasa, the compiler of the Mahabharata. Because of differences in recensions, the verses of the Gita may be numbered in the full text of the Mahabharata as chapters 6.25–42 or as chapters 6.23–40. According to the recension of the Gita commented on by Shankaracharya, the number of verses is 700, but there is evidence to show that old manuscripts had 745 verses.
Ellenberger is chiefly remembered for his encyclopedic study of the history of dynamic psychiatry, entitled The Discovery of the Unconscious, published in 1970.
With the publication of Crime and Punishment in 1866, Dostoyevsky became one of Russia's most prominent authors. Will Durant, in The Pleasures of Philosophy, called Dostoyevsky one of the founding fathers of the philosophical movement known as existentialism, and cited Notes from Underground in particular as a founding work of existentialism. For Dostoyevsky, war is the people's rebellion against the idea that reason guides everything, and thus, reason is not the ultimate guiding principle for either history or mankind.

Greece is such a familiar destination for the British (so many of us have memories of childhood summer holidays spent there) that it sometimes gets overlooked in the rush for more far-flung destinations. Yet here is the exotic right on our doorstep. Just a few hours flight south and you're in a different climate altogether with luxury crystal clear waters and temperatures in the twenties from May to October. And there's great variety too. The many groups of Greek islands all have the own personality, some with beautiful, sandy beaches, some dramatic coastal drives and charming white-washed houses - all knitted together by a long and fascinating history. We have handpicked a selection of luxury hotels in Santorini, Mykonos, Crete and the Peloponnese but please ask us about travel to other islands and other parts of mainland Greece.

Mykonos is well-known for being one of the most cosmopolitan of the Greek islands and offers plenty in the way of chic and sophisticated nightlife just a short flight from Athens.
Greece's largest island and the birthplace of Minoan civilisation unsurprisingly has a lot to offer. Crete's coastline is dramatically rocky and makes for some spectacular drives while the vast stretches of beach vary from sandy to pebbly to a sheer cliff drop into the sea.
Mainland Greece but not mainland Greece, an island yet not an island. Separated from the main centre of the country by the Gulf of Corinth and with a coastline that is both extensive and dramatic, this less-visited part of Greece is well-worth your consideration.

Develop a Unique List of Health Care Consultants, Targeting Specific Types of Experts - Plunkett Research, Ltd.
Plunkett Research conducted an extensive study for one of the world's largest medical and industrial technology firms. Our task was to identify consultancies that concentrate on the health care industry—top companies that employ large numbers of very specific types of experts. In particular, we sought exacting information about types of services offered, employee count, geographies served, and an in-depth look at in-house specialties.
Our project required an analysis of thousands of potential consultancies that were studied and repeatedly filtered, in order to develop a final target list to exacting specifications.
We were able to identify, analyze and create a target list of 200 consulting firms that have expertise in the desired fields. For each consultancy, we provided a company profile, contact information, website, specializations and employee count.

On your last few mows of the season, gradually lower the mower bit by bit until you're giving it a pretty good shaving on the last mowing of the season. Doing so helps prevent new growth and disease over the winter. It is also a good idea to lightly fertilize your lawn at the edge of winter to give it the nutrients it will need to make it through the cold season.

This included building block retaining walls, repairing the existing irrigation system, building an interlocking block patio, replacing fencing, completely resurfacing and sodding the lawns, and redoing our plant gardens.
We hired happy Landscaper because they clearly understood what we needed and worked with us to develop a plan that would look great and stay within our budget. They were professional and hard-working and kept us informed about progress and any issues as the job moved along. We were very happy with the results and would recommend them to others.

"Head lice are an unpleasant part of the human experience, but they can be successfully managed and are no reason for a child to miss school," said Dr. Dawn Nolt. She is lead author of the guidelines from the AAP Committee on Infectious Diseases, Committee on Practice and Ambulatory Medicine, and Section on Dermatology.
Importantly, the group emphasized, head lice are not a health hazard. They are also not a sign of poor hygiene.
Topical agents — including shampoos, lotions and other U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved products containing pyrethroids — are typically the first-line treatment for head lice.
The AAP recommends treatments that are safe and age-appropriate. They should be affordable, easy to use and rapidly rid an individual of live lice and nits, the AAP said. Parents are encouraged to call their child's doctor to be sure they are properly diagnosed and correctly use the products.
The clinical report, "Head Lice" — published online Sept. 26 in the journal Pediatrics — further details alternative treatments if a child or teen has developed resistance to these products.
Programs in schools that have screened for head lice have not had a significant effect, the AAP said. They also may stigmatize children suspected of having the bugs. The AAP suggests schools instead offer educational programs for families to help increase understanding and management of head lice in the community.
"The AAP encourages pediatricians to serve as an educational resource for families, school districts and communities so that head lice may be treated and managed without stigma," Nolt said in an academy news release.
For parents, more information is available on HealthyChildren.org.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has more on head lice.

Out of Sync
Whole Sale Changes, New Faces, and the same result.
A New Starting Pitcher, A Fresh Start, and the same result.
A Close Game, which Our Washington Nationals could not score key runs, and the same result.
And, with the game on the line, Milwaukee's Prince Fielder hit a three run homer, giving all us the same result.
When this one was over, that same result, a 6-4 loss to The Milwaukee Brewers was pretty much expected.
Losing our 7th game in a row, Our Washington Nationals are 9-24 for the season. There is a good possibility after starting this season 1-8, then going 8-9 over their next 17 games, Our Nats may well bookend that mediocre stretch with another horrendous 1-8 roadtrip, ending tomorrow afternoon in Milwaukee.
Our Washington Nationals are clashing. No cohesive parts. Its difficult to win when your team can't put it all together. Yeah, you can call up Jason Simontacchi. You can call up Winston Abreu. And, you can call up "All or Nothing" Tony Batista. But, in our case, nothing seems to be able to help right now. Our Washington Nationals have too many broken parts. Currently, they are Out of Sync. They are not a team. They are a conglomeration of indifferent parts.
That's disappointing.
Our Washington Nationals just don't make much sense. Its always the same when you are losing. Roster moves to wake up your team. Fresh Pitchers on the mound. An attempt to restart the season, get a new outlook. Yeah, Jason Simontacchi pitched well until he stumbled in the 6th, giving up a double, single, then the game deciding Home Run to Prince Fielder. But, he still floundered, pitching just well enough to lose. Our hitters left 12 runners on base again, never getting the key hit.
Yeah, Winston Abreu was LIGHTS OUT, at least for two hitters, confirming that Jose Rijo knew what he was talking about. At least, until Number 63 gave up an rocket shot home run to J.J. Hardy in the bottom of the 8th. Winston with the COOL WRAP AROUND EYEGLASSES at least LOOKED INTIMIDATING. Abreu was called on by Our Manager Manny Acta in the bottom of the 7th--getting Tony Graffanino to fly out to center, Rickie Weeks to strike out on a checked swing to kill a Brewers Rally--Before giving up the Big Fly in the 8th.
Except for Felipe Lopez's Leadoff Home Run in the first inning, there wasn't much else to say about this game once Fielder hit his three run homer off Simontacchi. A pitch that just got away from Jason, Prince Hammering it over the wall in right.
Nook Logan continues to show he's not much of an offensive threat. Batting lefthanded, Nook can't come up expecting to bunt for a base hit each and every at-bat. Its a waste, especially batting 8th in the lineup and the pitcher next up. Really, its like two automatic outs at the bottom of the order. Ryan Langerhans can provide a far better stick and effort than Logan.
Game Notes & Highlights
In the bottom of the 5th, Gabe Gross hit a hot grounder to the left of Ryan Zimmerman. "Z" dove and gloved the ball on the short hop. Quickly getting to his feet and tossing the ball to first, the throw was well off line, toward the right field line. Tonight's first baseman Robert Fick came off the bag stretching to catch the ball. Clearly off the bag during the catch, First Base Umpire Ed Rapuano called Gross OUT!!! I started laughing so hard, The African Queen told me to be quiet. Yeah, like the Umpires in Milwaukee are going to change the ruling. It was THE TERRIBLE CALL OF THE NIGHT.
In the Bottom of the 2nd, Johnnie Estrada doubled in Bill Hall for The Brewers first run of the evening. With No Outs and Simontacchi in a hole, Jason whirled and threw to Cristian Guzman at second, catching the napping Estrada for an easy out. It was The DEFENSIVE PLAY OF THE GAME.
Fick made two baserunning errors tonight. In the bottom of the second with Schneider on second with a single and Robert on first with a walk, Nook Logan could not bunt with Simontacchi behind him. Logan knocked a broken bat grounder to Rickie Weeks at second. With the fast moving Logan racing to first, all Fick had to do was stop in the baseline, giving Nook just enough time to make it to first, killing the double play. Instead, Number 13 ran right into Weeks, Richie quickly throwing to first for a two out rally killer.
Then in the 4th, Fick blooped a single past Milwaukee's second basemen Weeks, only to see Robert try to stretch it into a double. He may well have been safe, if only he stayed on the bag. Robert's Momentum carried him past the bag where J.J. Hardy tagged him out to end the inning.
Brian Schneider threw out his 4 attempted steal in the last 5 tries, tossing out Rickie Weeks on a nice throw in the bottom of the 3rd inning.
It should be a huge concern that Ryan Wagner has stated his right rotator cuff problem is similar to the pain he felt in 2005. That season, Ryan missed most of the year. Not a good sign.
Finally, before tonight's game, The Milwaukee Brewers offered Two Free Tickets to a future Brewers Home Game for any male fan attending that participated in a Free Prostate Cancer Screening Outside Miller Park. Good for them. Its a generous cause.

I think you are letting yourself get too bummed out about this team. It was constructed to be one of the worst professional clubs in recent history. Pick small enjoyable aspects and try to ignore the rest. The Nats will probably lose over 100 games but the Lerners already knew this was going to happen. Next year will see a new stadium and some major free agent additions. It wouldn't be a DC team if it wasn't simultaneously frustrating and embarrassing. Take a deep breath and look forward to next year.
Thanks for articulating some of my frustrations with these Nats.
Where is the sense of TEAM? Did Bowden construct this disaster or is Acta failing in strategy? Can patience win out and see this group become cohesive as the season rolls along?
Watching the Nats, I have no clue what their gameplan is to score runs as a 9-man lineup. It seems to be "swing away and pray."
At least in 2005 and 2006, the Nats had an identity. This group looks lost.
Mark, you own the logical and appropriately patient perspective.
But losing sucks.
I could care less about 2008 right now. I want a win.
And even when I think about 2008, why are we playing guys like Robert Fick? Play guys with a future and let them sink or swim.
Mark: I am not bummed out. In fact, I enjoy attending each home game and watching the rest on TV. But, it also important to realize some things are not going well and point those out. There have been a few games where basic execution would have given Our Washington Nationals a win. I am not expecting miracles, but the showing of basic skills a necessity. I would never be upset about any type of baseball in Washington. Thanks for the comment.

I am bummed.
I might be short sighted but could someone explain to me why we could not have had the roster spots taken by Young, Fick, Tony B.,etc filled with true contributors.
The only down side would be cost. Nats are not spending the profit on anything anyway and scouts do not cost $30 million.
Yes, we would have to pay for a better player, but how would his hurt the plan. No we would not win the divison but we could keep moral higher and have some leadership that can help win some games.
If it was not for the NATS, Fick, Young and Tony would all be out of baseball.

I'm thinking to buy a used car but I'm confused as there are so many options, so I have fixed my budget and I was looking for some cars.
One of my uncles have suggested me an i10 car of 2009 model (petrol variant) and another uncle is insisting me to go for a diesel car as it gives more mileage.
As I stay away from my hometown, we have to use the car very less and it is around 500 to 1000 kms per month.
If the petrol variant gives a mileage of 18 and diesel variant gives a mileage of 24kmpl.
How much extra I need to burn if I opt for a petrol car.
Assuming that petrol price is 80/liter and diesel price is 70/liter.


Holiday Properties is very experienced in taking clients through the purchase process on the property. Below is a summary of what is involved in purchasing a property with us.
If you are at the island of Crete please don't hesitate to ask for a tour in order to become more familiar with our projects. Contact us via e-mail or just give us a call and we'll make sure that our representative will be available as soon as possible.
If your are planning to visit Crete please let us know the exact dates that you will be available for a tour, and we'll make sure that a rep will be available for you.
Please try to give an idea of what you are looking for depending on your needs. That will make your visit more "tailor-made" based on your requirements, and the process of finding your dream house easier for you!
Our rep will be able to answer all your questions about the properties that you are visiting, as well as help you with more general questions about the process of buying a property in Greece.
Holiday-Properties is looking forward to meet you in person, and it will be our pleasure to fulfill your needs in the best possible way.
Buying a Property in Greece is different than many European countries. Holiday-Properties can assist you with all the paperwork. If you don't already have a lawyer, you will be introduced to one who will obtain a "Power of Attorney", which means that he or she can sign any papers in your absence. Therefore you don't need to be present for either the purchasing process, or the signing of the contract.
Signing of the final contract for taking possession your property when the lawyer has prepared the final contract. This will be handed over to a Notary Public, who performs the same investigation and information obligations as an authorized broker / lawyer.
You can estimate about one month to have the contract and deed ready. The sales documents for signing are all in Greek, which can be translated into English.
Greek law requires that the buyers obtain their own lawyer when purchasing a property, which gives you the best guarantee that the process follows the right procedures. Thus you might even claim that buying property in Greece is safer than in other countries! You can, of course, deal with the purchasing process yourself, but the cost will not be less.
... there is some additional expenses depending on the purchasing price, which includes document fee, registration fee, lawyer, Notary Public, and taxes to the municipality and the Greek government. Bear in mind that you only pay property tax in connection with the purchase in Greece; there is no annual tax.
...you will need to open an account with a Greek bank, and obtain a tax number. The Greek bank will then send out an official document, which proves that the funds have been transferred for the purchase. This will provide the buyer with entitlement to transfer funds back later, for example for the sale of housing, without the buyer having to pay taxes to Greece. Provided the purchase is being completed with a Power of Attorney, the buyer does not have to be present throughout the process. This document, however, must be signed at the Greek consulate in your country.
...is minimal – there are no annual property taxes unless the value exceeds 411 000 Euro. Water charges are based on meter usage. Installation of Solar panels is standard, providing hot water, at no extra charge, for at least 8 months during the year. In case of oil central heating is used we estimate approximately 200 - 250 Euros in annual heating expenses. The insurance cost is low, approximately 250 Euro annually for housing of about 100 m². This provides insurance for both fire and theft.
Once you find your dream house you will have to make a small deposit in order to keep it off the market. Then, Holiday-Properties will provide to your Lawyer all the documentation needed to make the necessary legal checks on the property, and be prepared for the final contract. Usually this process should take no longer than 30 days. No need to mention that this deposit is FULLY refundable in the case that something goes wrong during this process.
Next, depending on the completion stage of your house, you'll have to make deposits according to the following table.
In case your house is already finished (key-ready) the deposit for keeping the house of market is 20%. The rest of the amount is due to the sing of the final contract for taking possession your property.
Until recently, few people from overseas bought property in Crete, especially compared to other destinations such as Spain, France and Italy. This changed when Greece relaxed its regulations for the purchase of property by foreign nationals in Greece. Now that property purchase in Greece has become a simple process, especially for nationals of EEC countries, the house market in Greece and in particular Crete has expanded year after year. The Olympic Games in 2004 put Greece well and truly in the limelight and gave it welcome international coverage. Athens and Sitia in Crete got new airports and Olympic stadiums were developed on the mainland and also in Heraklion in Crete. These facts along with improvements in infrastructure have helped to fuel a growing property market in Greece and especially on the island of Crete. Not surprisingly, Greece consistently tops the destination list in surveys taken from potential second home buyers in Europe. Crete takes a very large portion of this market with house prices increasing at approx 15% year on year in some areas of the island. This gives investment in Crete property fantastic capital appreciation potential and yet property prices are still competitive in comparison with countries such as Spain and Italy.
Undoubtedly the original wave of property buyers in Crete were people who had spent many happy vacations on the island and had long wanted to fulfill their dream of owning a villa of their own to enjoy extended stays in sunny Crete. However, recently there has been an increase in the number of discerning investors who have recognised the relatively untapped potential that exists on the island of Crete. Investors point to the increased ease of access to the island with the expansion of charter flights to the main airports of Heraklion and Chania and of course the development of a beautiful Golf Course in the East of Crete as being signs of increased investment potential. Buy to let investors are increasingly interested in the seasonal vacation rental potential of property bought in Crete as the island remains one of the most popular destinations for holiday makers from all over the world. This potential makes the possibility of mortgage repayment using funds from property rental a reality. The recent developments in high-end tourism and the second home market itself have increased the potential for year-round tourism which have a positive effect on the mainly seasonal tourism market in Crete and will also further increase the value of investments made here.
Apart from Crete's obvious popularity with tourists there are several other factors that enhance its investment potential. As an EEC member state it can offer free health care to fellow EEC member nationals. The relatively low cost of living and property prices ensure that it remains a favorite retirement destination. Strict building laws have ensured that the island's natural beauty remains unspoilt and over development has not blighted the landscape as it has done in some other European destinations. The very low crime rate is also an important factor as well as the fact that Greece is a safe, non volatile country with a rising economy. Bureaucratical obstacles that were blocking Greece's full share of EU funding have been removed and the economy is growing by more than 4% a year. Add to this recipe the fact that tourism enjoyed a record year in 2007 with more than 16 million visitors and unemployment that has fallen to a rate not seen in living memory and Greece, and Crete in particular, is shaping up as a perfect investment opportunity.
Of course any investment carries its share of risk but the majority of Crete's many timeless attractions will not be effected by outside influences. Crete's unique mixture of rich culture, ancient historical heritage and laid back charm, the friendliness and hospitality of the Cretan people, the excellent local cuisine, the superb natural beauty and the endless activities available on the island, not to mention the longest summer in Europe, ensure that Crete will remain one of the most sought after property investment destinations in the world.
So whether it is the case; a holiday home, a place to retire to, an investment to supplement a pension- or even a combination of all three- Holiday-Properties will be happy to fulfill your needs in the best possible way.

Open letter to Gov. Rauner from the Stateville Debate Team
Dear Gov. Rauner: We, the Stateville Debate Team, write this letter to implore you to reverse Assistant Director Gladyse Taylor's (and thus the IDOC's) unjustified decision to terminate the Stateville Debate Team and class and reverse the unjustified ban of our teacher, Katrina Burlet, from Stateville Correctional Center and other IDOC (Illinois Department of Corrections) facilities.
Prosecutorial objection to bringing a parole system to Illinois
On March 21, the Stateville Correctional Center Debate Team, hosted a public debate about bringing a parole system back to Illinois – one of two states which currently does not have parole. As Illinois boasts the No. 1 most overcrowded prison system in the US – operating at 151 percent capacity – and the system is spending $2 billion and counting each year, the time to reinstate parole was undoubtedly yesterday.
Illinois prisoners boycott overpriced phone calls, commissary and vending machines
During the month of April, at least 100 of those incarcerated at Stateville Correctional Center, about an hour outside of Chicago, Illinois, participated in a boycott of the overpriced phone calls, commissary goods and vending machines. "Mass incarceration is a luxury business," stated Patrick Pursley, one of the men who joined in the boycott. The boycott comes at a time of growing demonstrations led by those inside U.S. prisons.
Menard hunger strike, Sept. 23-28: Trying to make it better for...
On Sept. 23, 2015, at least 19 and possibly as many as 22 men in Administrative Detention at the Menard Correctional Center began a hunger strike that ended on Sept. 28. It was nearly a week after the hunger strike ended before we received any mail from them. The following is a composite account based on what they sent us, written on the first and last days of the hunger strike.
Update from Menard: Hunger strike resumes Sept. 23
Some of you will remember the hunger strike in January-February 2014 by prisoners in Administrative Detention at the Menard Correctional Center in Menard, Illinois. During and after the hunger strike, several of the strikers were sent to prisons as far away as California, Virginia, West Virginia and New Mexico. Others remain in Administrative Detention at Menard.
Solitary confinement tricknology at Menard Concentration Slave Camp
On the battlefield of psychological warfare, the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) made moves that "appeared" to redress the unconstitutionally inhumane conditions in Menard isolation unit that gave rise to last year's hunger strike. But the move is no more than tricknology aimed at curbing grassroots activism and damage control due to the negative publicity that the hunger strike generated.
Retaliation against hunger strikers at Menard – windows blocked, strikers beaten...
On this upcoming Monday, April 28, we are asking and encouraging people to participate in a Call-In Day in support of the prisoners in the High Security Unit at Menard Correctional Center in Illinois who are facing retaliation for engaging in a hunger strike in January. Prisoners there have been beaten by guards and metal boxes have been placed over their windows.
Menard hunger strikers refusing water until face-to-face hearings begin
The Menard hunger strikers have apparently decided to go without liquid as well as food, and their physical condition could deteriorate rapidly. Before the end of January, the Menard hunger strikers presented a proposal to the warden. "Once the informal face-to-face hearings begin, we will take your word that the other issues are going to be addressed and we will ALL come off our hunger strike."
Update from Menard hunger strikers: We need outside support, force feeding...
On Jan. 15, 2014, approximately 25 prisoners in Administrative Detention at Menard Correctional Center went on hunger strike. The hunger strikers have been told the prison administration is working on obtaining a preliminary injunction to force feed them. They expect to continue the hunger strike even if they are force fed. "We need as much outside support as possible," the prisoners say. Please call or email: Gov. Pat Quinn, Warden Rick Harrington, Illinois Department of Corrections Director Salvador Godinez.
Illinois prisoners in Menard High Security Unit plan to begin hunger...
The following information is based on numerous letters from prisoners in the High Security Unit at Menard Correctional Center in Illinois written in December 2013. These prisoners expect to go on hunger strike on Jan. 15, 2014, due to their placement and retention in severe isolation, under inhumane living conditions, without notice, reasons or hearing. This will be a peaceful protest. Retaliation can be expected.
